The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 351, If ​​virtue is lacking, lingering influence will make up for it.
Standing on the floating island, Hua Changxi felt an unprecedented comfort from head to toe, inside and out, a comfort akin to the warmth of Mars being immersed in a fiery mother body.

The fire elemental energy on the island was so rich and pure that she had never experienced anything like it before.

Although she didn't have much experience, she was confident that the fire spirit lands she had visited were not bad. Whether it was Five Finger Mountain, Lingguang Palace, or Tang Valley of the Weapon Saint Palace, the fire spirit energy in each place was very rich.

However, it still falls short compared to those on the island.

Hua Changxi looked at the red stone at her feet, and then at the red jade gate with the three characters 'Huoquan Palace' engraved on it.

Whether it's the red stones that make up the island or the red jade that builds the gate tower, the fire elemental power they contain is even more concentrated and purer than that of the finest fire elemental stones.

Hua Changxi picked up a red stone from the ground and held it in his hand to feel it.

A top-grade fire spirit stone contains approximately 1000 points of fire spirit power; while this red stone in my hand contains nearly 10,000 points of fire spirit power.

What does this mean?
This indicates that the quality of this island is even better than that of top-grade Fire Spirit Ore.

There are a total of twelve such islands.

Hua Changxi took a deep breath. Even without any other gains, just acquiring these twelve islands, which far surpass the quality of top-grade fire spirit mines, would make her a member of the wealthy class.

Hua Changxi looked at the magnificent palace behind the gate and went inside to investigate.

However, when she reached the bottom of the gate, she was stopped by an invisible barrier.

Can't go in?!

Hua Changxi was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained her composure. She thought of the scene where the Xuanyuan Mansion was suppressed by the restriction and the scene where the restriction was lifted.

Perhaps to enter and exit the Fire Spring Palace, one would need to find an identity token similar to the 'Xuanyuan Token' in order to freely pass through the gate tower?
Hua Changxi shifted her attention from the Huoquan Palace behind the gate to other parts of the island, and soon discovered a red stone tablet to the right of the gate.

There was nothing on the stone tablet, so Hua Changxi didn't dare to be careless. She first used her spiritual power to investigate, but when there was no reaction, she then used her divine sense to investigate.

The moment her divine sense touched the stone tablet, countless pieces of information were instantly crammed into her mind.

"When virtue is perfected, fire can serve as proof of the Way."

"The first Palace Master of Fire Spring Palace, Mu Qinghuang, the Dao Lord of Light."

"The 9,998th Palace Master of Huoquan Palace, Su Qingcang, the Pure Fire Daoist."

After reading the information in the stone tablet, Hua Changxi felt somewhat disheartened, as all the palace masters of Huoquan Palace were Dao Integration Realm experts.

She thought that her arrival in this place was her destiny, and that she should be the next Palace Master of Huoquan Palace.

But looking at it now, she doesn't seem quite qualified!

Disappointed, Hua Changxi moved away from the stone tablet and wanted to explore other parts of the island. However, the area outside the gate was very limited, and the main area of ​​the island was behind the gate.

"Forget it, let's go check out the other islands."

Hua Changxi flew off the central island and headed towards the nearest island, but this time, she was unable to reach it.

Hua Changxi refused to believe it and flew to other islands. In the end, she visited all eleven islands, but she couldn't get on any of them.

Helpless, Hua Changxi returned to the central island, pondered for a while, and then walked towards the stone tablet again, probing it with her divine sense once more.

Of the twelve floating islands, only this stone tablet revealed some information. She wanted to take another look to see if she had overlooked any information.

Unfortunately, the stone tablet contained no other information, only the names and Taoist titles of the past masters of Huoquan Palace.

"Ok?"

When Hua Changxi used his divine sense to examine the stone tablet for the third time, he noticed the first sentence transmitted by the stone tablet: "When virtue is perfected, fire can prove the Dao."

"Fire can prove the Way."

"Establishment of the Way?"

"Light, Pure Fire, Thunder, Nirvana."

Hua Changxi silently recited the Daoist titles of the various palace masters, her eyes slowly brightening. These Daoist titles seemed to be some kind of fire-based divine power.

After a moment of contemplation, Hua Changxi conjured a crimson lotus of karmic fire in his palm.

The next moment, she flung the Fiery Lotus at the stone tablet.

As soon as the karmic fire lotus approached, the stone tablet emitted a bright light that swallowed it. Then, the stone tablet flickered, and after a few moments, a line of words appeared on the stone tablet: "Insufficient virtue."

Looking at the words on the stone tablet, Hua Changxi was stunned. Could a mere karmic fire lotus really be used to judge her virtue?
“Virtue.” Hua Changxi hadn’t expected that cultivation would also require examining a person’s virtue.

Does she have any virtue?

Hua Changxi herself couldn't answer the question. At the moment, she was focused on passing the 'Fire Spring Palace' sect building, so she didn't think about the question much.

The fact that the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire could make the stone tablet react shows that her idea was correct.

Previous masters of the Fire Spring Palace all achieved their Dao fruit by cultivating a certain fire-based divine power.

This discovery delighted Hua Changxi. Although she was still only a Nascent Soul cultivator, being able to glimpse a glimpse of the opportunity to achieve enlightenment was undoubtedly a huge gain.

Since the Karmic Fire Lotus had failed, Hua Changxi used the Myriad Fires Converging to the Source Divine Power, condensing a ball of flame and throwing it at the stone tablet.

This time, after the stone tablet absorbed the flames, it flickered for an even longer period.

The stone tablet stopped flashing, and words immediately appeared.

"Who is coming?"

Hua Changxi was genuinely surprised to see this, but she quickly used her divine sense to input her name into the stone tablet.

Immediately afterwards, a line of text appeared on the stone tablet.

"All fires converge upon the source, inheriting the legacy of the Vermilion Bird. Hua Changxi, a Nascent Soul cultivator, becomes the 9,999th Palace Master of the Fire Spring Palace, for a term of one hundred years."

After this line of writing appeared, Hua Changxi saw a fire jade seal shaped like a waterfall fly out of the stone tablet and directly enter her brow.

At the same time, all the information about the Nine Heavens Fire Spring entered her mind.

For example, the source of the Fire Spring is located in the Fire Lotus Pond behind the South Heavenly Gate of the First Heaven. It was only because the Vermilion Bird Emperor accidentally broke a small hole in the bottom of the Fire Lotus Pond while fishing that the Nine Heavens Fire Spring fell into the human world.

For example, the red stones that make up the island are not spirit stones, but spirit marrow stones, and the archway is made of spirit marrow jade.

Spirit marrow ore is a higher-grade cultivation ore than spirit stone ore, containing a richer and purer spiritual energy.

What Hua Changxi cared about most was that the Palace Master of Huoquan Palace had to obey the orders of the City Lord of Nanxiang City. Whenever the Vermilion Bird Army needed him, he had to allow the Vermilion Bird Army to enter the Nine Heavens Huoquan to refine their bodies.

Hua Changxi sighed. The lords of the twelve blessed lands of Nanxiang City all had to obey the city lord of Nanxiang City. Her previous guess had come true.

The eleven blessed lands, including the Karmic Fire Platform and the Nine Heavens Fire Spring, are all training grounds and supply points for the Vermilion Bird Army!

Hua Changxi's feelings were still somewhat complicated, as she had only become the Palace Master of Huoquan Palace because of the Vermilion Bird's influence.

The benefits that Elder Yiming gave her from the drop of Vermilion Bird essence blood were greater than she had imagined.

Having obtained the Nine Heavens Fire Spring Seal, the Nine Heavens Fire Spring was now under Hua Changxi's control for the next hundred years.

Hua Changxi strode towards the gate of 'Fire Spring Palace'. This time, there was no obstruction, and she passed through easily.

Huoquan Palace was not built very tall. Except for the main hall facing the gate, which is nine stories high, all other pavilions and halls are below nine stories. The pavilions and palaces are connected by long corridors, interspersed with ponds, rockeries, gardens and other features.

Compared to the ruins of the Holy Land and Xuanyuan Mansion, Huoquan Palace did not suffer serious damage.

It's not because the Fire Spring Palace wasn't attacked from the outside world, but because the Fire Marrow Jade used to build the Fire Spring Palace could automatically absorb the fire spiritual power in the fire spring. Over countless years, from ancient times to the present, it has long since repaired the damaged parts.

"what is that?"

Hua Changxi wandered to the back of Huoquan Palace and saw a high platform, so high that it even surpassed the main hall.

"Wangchen Terrace!"

Hua Changxi walked over, read out the name of the platform, and stood on the highest platform on the central island.

Climb high and look far.

Standing on the high platform and looking down, the view can penetrate the light mist and clouds below, clearly unfolding the human world before your eyes.

Beyond the Nine Heavens Fire Spring, winding rivers entwine the earth like silver ribbons, smoke curls from the bustling city, and distant mountains are outlined in dark blue in the twilight. One can even vaguely see pedestrians on the road moving slowly like ants.

The field of vision is not infinite. Hua Changxi has a strong feeling that the range she can see at this moment is the entire Nanxiang City.

The twelve blessed lands of Nanxiang City together outline the Vermilion Bird totem.

Hua Changxi, who became the master of Huoquan Palace, could see clearly from the Wangchen Platform, penetrating the spatial barrier, the location of the other eleven blessed lands where flames were rising.
